Life lately

Life at the Loeffel house has been pretty uneventful these past few weeks. Andy is still out of work but the Lord has provide for our needs and been teaching us to rely on Him for everything.

I guess the most exciting thing that has happened is that we have a new baby! Her name is Abby! She is a beautiful 5 year old yellow lab. We weren't planning on getting another dog until we got into a bigger house, but she just fell into our laps!

Andy and I got home one night and as I was getting out of the car I heard something walking behind the car. As I stood up this dog slowly creeped toward me and then ran off. I could see she had a collar and an ID tag so Andy and I tried to catch her so we could call her owner. Unfortunately she was extremely nervous and wouldn't let us get near her. We decided to bring our other dog Maddie out to see if she would come near her. After awhile we managed to get her into the back yard and I called her owner to come get her. When he got here, he told us that she has been running off a lot and they were at their wits end with her. He said they were probably going to have to find a new home for her. She is such a sweetheart and with her being so nervous we thought she may have been abused in the past. We just fell in love with her so we told the guy we would take her. She settled right in and now she is part of our family. Maddie loves her and they get along great! The only down side is now the house has gotten even smaller! Oh well! I choice to think that our house isn't small, it's cozy! :)
